Please look around the forum, I believe this clue is already under discussion and has been overly dissected. |

The problem is though, as long as the teams are allowed to work on their robots on Thursday, they will, and they'll never learn to finish it before the event. |

Kids don't just decide they want to build robots then build the next Einstein champion the next year. |

Some of the best team captains I've seen have been from rookie teams. |

By the looks, 1114 has already figured out both #1 and #2. They're still behind 71, who is just about done with their robot for the 2012 season, is getting driver practice for 2011, and is working on their robot designs for the 2013 water game. You're still way behind. |

When we find bugs at work, we don't ask "who wrote that section of code?" We ask "Who is the best, most knowledgeable person to work on fixing this bug?" |

Hello... I need one order of Thunderchicken, extra crispy. Yes, I would like fries with that. OK... go ahead and super-size it. What, only $2.17!? Sweet. |

... One of the things I happen to like about the Chief Delphi community is that at every competition I go to, someone recognises me and comes over to say hi ... I meet someone new, they meet someone new, and it's win/win. |

If it's anything that FIRST's competitive spirit has taught me, its to take the good with the bad. |

... Imagine NOT being able to count on certain things to stay the same from year to year... It makes you wonder what sort of sick, twisted mind would do such a thing to all those innocent teams out there... |

They may call us geeks and nerds, but deep down under that prejudice they know they want to be the hard-core, sleep-deprived, hand drill-toting, robot builders we know we are! |

You will find friends among all FIRST students who will become very good friends of yours, will care and help you with anything that you need help with. This is my personal opinion, If you are hooked, dont ever let it go. |

Building a robot is one thing - but the fun I have had with my mentors, parents, and other students on team outings is something I cherish. |

In my opinion, the right mix of student, mentor, and engineer involvement is when everyone gives it 100%. |

I wish I had the blissful self-confidence of some of our students, even if it is a little delusional. It's all part of the process. |

...many different kinds of students join our team. Some only have an interest in media, or others in cheering. What is important is that they are having fun while working in an engineering environment. |

People misuse GP because they see Dean as some sort of whimsical cross between the Nutty Professor and Mister Rogers and think that FIRST is Disney World and we're all going to happily hold hands around the campfire and sing happy songs all day long. |

Of course, every team in FTC should be asking the magic question: "What would Simbotics do?" |

If you're sore over the vigorous defense teams play, get over it. It happens and will continue to, as the majority of people hope. |

Its not really a robotics competition. The robots are merely vehicles used to make society a better place, and to inspire the youth of the world to help one another, and to become more united.

Really let's not remove the best part of the games and that is the human interaction with the robots. Humans are much more adaptable and interesting when it come to problem solving. |

Teams that TRY to win and TRY to do their best end up having students that learn more, learn the value of hard work, and are inspired by the process. |

In the professional world, spelling mistakes, grammatical shortcuts, leet-speek, and misused verbiage are not interpreted as signs of cute, efficient communications. They are indicators of illiteracy, inefficiency, unprofessional behavior, and sloppy work habits. |

We also indirectly benefit from those rookie teams having well-built and working drivebases. It helps raise the level of performance across the board, making for a better competitive environment.
